Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

The answer you've provided isn't useful, because it isn't a readily identifiable action: the question is "how do I keep from sinning?" and the apparent answer you've settled for is "perform the action that stops you from sinning."

That's great, but what is that action and how does one perform it? What does it actually achieve and why would one do that? This is why I said earlier that providing "what" answers to "why" questions isn't helpful; there's no method or purpose or reason involved with "what" answers, and in the case of the bible the "what" itself is completely devoid of context.

When one believes and has faith in Christ he receives the Spirit. Walking in the Spirit involves keeping in touch via prayer and study of the word. He's promised to guide us.
